White Marble Dream Kitchen

This is our coffee-making corner. My husband used to take a quick walk to coffee each morning, but now that we live way up the hill and have three kids to wrangle, that is pretty untenable. So we used a gift card and bought the Nespresso Pixie espresso maker
which he adores. It's pod-system so he can make once cup at a time. I don't need coffee, just give me the KitchenAid mixer and some muffins/cupcakes/frosting/cookies anytime!

WOW! That is one envy inducing kitchen - absolutely gorgeous! The layout and positioning of the kitchen in the house is spectacular, and the finishes are beautiful. I LOVE the knife drawer. even though I just went trhough a kitchen update that I love I am totally pinning your space. (PS - I'm your newest follower)

You are a genius to put all those plates on the bottom so kids can help set the table or unload the dishwater! I didnt think of that and so until my kids hit a serious growth spurt, I'm doing all the dishes stuff! Oh well, live and learn :-) Thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog too.....I just added myself to your GFC.

Oh my goodness. That is the most beautiful kitchen. You are one lucky lady! *I have that same mixer and it practically takes up my entire counter. On your counter, your mixer looks like it's miniature.

Your kitchen is breath taking and I am totally in love with your floors. Thank you for this wonderful post! I would love it if you would share this at our What’s It Wednesday blog party. Hope to see you there.

Your kitchen is absolutely amazing! Love all the white. And that baby is spotless! I would die for that much counter and cupboard space. And I really really love the contrasting dark colors in the other rooms. Perfection!

oh my goodness I adore your kitchen. not only are you wonderful, but your house is AMAZING!!! You are making me wish I was building and designing my own place..... buttttttt {don't tell anyone} buttt I think my husband and I are pretty committed to a fix-er upper....! Buttt I am still excited to someday have my home looking just like yours! And I will FOR SURE be focusing on the windows and the view in my final product as well! :o) :o) you are so cool.:o)Jaime

I think it's lovely. I love white kitchens with pale colored walls...they're so clean and fresh looking. I am curious about storing crystal in a drawer. Does it do okay in there? I'd be afraid the glasses would fall over and break. But I know they've really improved the function of drawer hardware to make them smoother, so maybe that's not an issue. I know they'd tip in the drawers in my house though, because my cabinets are from the '80s!! :)

Oh my goodness girlfriend! How did I miss this post??? What a beautiful kitchen! And your view is stunning! I think I could spend all day in that room! (I'm pinning this on my kitchen envy board) ;)~ KIM @ Sand & Sisal

Oh goodness, just came from The Thrifty Groove where you are featured with this fabulous kitchen! How did I miss this?! Your storage is terrific, I love drawers in the kitchen too. You have great view from all the windows. GREAT!!! Have a blessed EASTER!FABBY

You pay very close attention to detail, girl! Even the inside of your drawers are amazing! We're going to be re-doing our kitchen soon and I'm going to have to remember your kitchen as inspiration! Actually, I think I'll pin it right now:) Smiles, Jill

All of the rooms you've shown are so lovely, but I really love your kitchen! That view!! I love the dishes low too, but ours are in cabinets since I don't have such awesome drawers. Great inspiration, though. I'm with Jaime, this is a someday dream for sure! Thanks for linking up.

Oh wow! This one’s an eye-popping kitchen, just look at the capacity of ingredients this can hold to. It’s just like in the movies where you can see the private chef can do all his masterpieces with finesse. It’s like an ideal model for kitchen designs with all utensils thoroughly organized. With its color and design, it’s like an epitome of cleanliness.

I'm obsessed with your kitchen! Such a dream! We just built our house and I couldn't talk my hubby into the marble in the kitchen :( I have white quartz instead not as much fun! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous did I mention gorgeous? Lucky you :)

Hi! I absolutely love your kitchen! I'm planning on updating mine next year and want to get marble. I've heard however, that it's really hard to clean and if marinara sauce, or acid from lemons, etc can ruin it. Is that true? Have you had that problem? I want the look and feel but not if it's a nightmere to keep clean.

Oh my word! Your kitchen is to die for! I am building a home as we speak and I am wondering if you would kindly answer a couple of questions....I love the polished nickle pulls in the kitchen does the polished nickel flow through your whole house? door knobs, higes etc? Is there some sort of standard to this? Also, are your kitchen cabinets white? cream? off white? Thanks in advance! Gena

UNBELIEVABLE! Totally my dream kitchen. You must have loved designing each aspect, and it totally shows. I had not choice but to feature you in the Spice Up Your Kitchen Awards, thanks so much for linking up! :)

Hey!! I was googling marble tile with gray grout and look what old gem I found! I hope you guys are well, love the pic of the kids, the baby is so big and your first is 7!! Any chance you know the color/brand of grout you used in your kitchen and bathroom? I'm having a hard time finding the right gray. Thanks!
